.....Obama calls them Iran’s Republican Guard :-).....
That’s what they are. The pretorians guard the palace.
The same is true of the Saudi National guard.
They are all loyal to the leader and a buffer against the military.

They are the Revolutionary Guard (not Republican). Their job is to protect the Revolution

True, but Obama used the term during the debate on Iran, and I don't believe he was referring to the palace guards.
